One of the most aggressive 1970 Camaro SS builds to hit the road course. The Roadster Shop has continued its development of chassis and suspension products to the growing Muscle Car, pro-touring market. With full in-house design, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing capabilities, they can provide a customer with an industry leading chassis product that exceeds all expectations and the Camaro Rampage is the results.
Hard to think that this Camaro sat in the desert for years before its real purpose was waiting to show up at Roadster Shop in Mundelein Illinois.
If there was ever a real Transformer like in the movies this SS is the one! Talk about 'Nothing but Rubber', 18x12- and 19x12-inch wheels, front and rear, wear 345/35ZR18 and 345/35ZR19 Hoosier R6 tires.
This LS7 427ci V8 that runs on pump gas fills the engine bay supplied by Thompson Racing Engines (no web site?) develops 740 hp that sucks it all in from a 'Harrop Carbon Fiber Cross Ram Intake' and lubricated with a Dailey billet dry-sump pump.
To launch this beast out of the turns she mates up with a Tilton bellhousing that mounts a five-speed Jerico road-race dogbox transmission linked to a 9-inch Ford center section, oh that's sweet! Independent rear suspension that uses Fast Track geometry and C6 Corvette knuckles. A 3.50:1 ring and pinion, Wavetrac limited-slip from C&R Racing, treated to a polishing process that reduces stress and heat.
Engineer Michael O’Brien used Solidworks that develop the new bits for the chassis, front suspension uses cantilever coilovers with a bellcrank mounted to a custom pedestal that ties into the forward bars from the roll cage. This also included the cantilever rear suspension with inboard coilovers using billet aluminum rocker arms machined in-house by the Roadster Shop.
